Bin Suroor is Alert to German chance for Tornado

Bin Suroor is Alert to German chance for Tornado

The Saeed bin Suroor-trained colt finished fourth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before coming home a creditable sixth in the Derby.
He then headed to Ascot to contest the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes, where he dropped back to 10 furlongs to finish runner-up behind Aidan O'Brien's Trinity College.
His next port of call is the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis, known also as the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen, a Group One event run over a mile and a quarter and a race Bin Suroor has enjoyed success in before as Kutub won it in 2001 and Benbatl prevailed in 2018.
'He is doing very well, he worked on Tuesday,' the trainer said of Tornado Alert.
'The plan is to run him in Germany at the end of the month.
'The race is on the 27th at Munich, the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis.
'It's over a mile and a quarter, which is his trip. He's been in really good form.'

Benvenuto Cellini makes winning mark at Killarney

His trainer Aidan O'Brien sent out subsequent Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck to land the mile contest in 2018 and Benvenuto Cellini was sent off the 2-5 favourite to add his name to the roll of honour. Partnered by Wayne Lordan, the impeccably-bred Frankel colt came home a two-and-three-quarter-length winner over stablemate Endorsement, with connections now eyeing a step up in calibre next month after improving from his initial start. Ballydoyle representative Chris Armstrong said: 'Benvenuto Cellini had a lovely run at the Curragh and coming here, this was going to be a lovely race for him. He was very babyish at the Curragh and again today where he jumped out and led, but Wayne said he was looking at the cars on the inside. 'It looked a decent maiden and he went away and won well so that is a decent sign. He improved from the Curragh to here and will improve again from here to his next run, which could be in the Futurity Stakes. Whatever he does you'd think will be a bonus as he'll make up into a smashing middle-distance horse for next year. He is one with a touch of class. 'You only have to look at some of the previous winners around here, and even at the horses who have finished in-behind, to see how good these maidens are and you need a stakes horse to come here. There aren't many who win here who aren't above average.'
